Colourful Grunge

My starting point for this card was Lozzy's Dark Grunge paper in blue, over which I laid some stripes of card in a rainbow sequence, and then embossed.

I then cut circles from the same card snippets, stamped the letters on them from an unknown alpha set, set the die back over the circles and sponged some ink onto them to grunge them a bit more.

The (Kiwistamping) stamp was masked before inking to get just the lower part of the sentiment, which was coloured in the same rainbow sequence and then had glossy accents added for some dimension. The panel was then trimmed, sponged with black ink and adhered.

As I am out of town when this is due, and this is a scheduled post,I am not at this point linking with any challenges.

Such a clever idea to lay down the coloured strips of paper/card and then emboss them..I have never thought of doing that, but I will now, thank you for the inspiration. Fabulous texture on the card and fun colours x

Well, my friend - congratulations on your DT! How did I miss that! This card is sensational, from the bright and vivid colors that are super summery and fun to the wonderful textured pattern from the embossing - just LOVE this, my friend! Well done!

Super fun and creative card Maxine. Love the rainbow stripes with the embossing. Such a great technique, I need to give that a try. I thought your HAPPY was actual buttons until I read your description --- great job! Loll :)
